For those of you who have done the 'ol "one inner spline drop" or roughly 3", can you remember if the spring arm sits above or below the stop-lip on the shock arm member?

I'm without a vernier protractor at the moment and I don't want to have to take everything apart and redo it all if it's not low/too low/wonky...

Cheers all ye low riders!

just a feeling, but below-just,

its been a while, but i'm thinking i was able to "load" the bottom of the spring plate onto the stop by hand.

just had a look, and rember the bottom of the spring plate laying accross the hole for the lower bolt on the retaining cover, used that to line up both sides
